  1. Hey Guys and Gals It was a "fun" trip and thanks for reading Mitch We flew out of Wawa TimRm The hockey stick works the 'best' But I think I am dating myself with an aluminum Easton!!! LOL Sylvan PM anytime Bri The Arrius is the first out of the rod locker here on Simcoe But because its a one piece I do not take it on Fly ins. Pilots are OK with one piece but the 2 piece pack much easier Cheers Rick
  2. Hey Capt The May Fly hatch always creates some issues. Try the Slow Death hook on a drift or slow troll.
  3. Hey Simon Don't be afraid to give yourself and your family a pat on the back! You deserve it. I am sure Sean appreciates it. All the best Cheers Rick
  4. As soon as my 2013 trip was over I was searching for a place to go in 2014. I have 2 bucket lists #1 is the "dreamers" list and has spots like Plummers and the Tree #2 is more realistic, and after reading James Smedley's article in Ontario Out of Doors Apisabigo was added to this list. So when the opportunity came up to Fish a Spot from the "List" I quickly said "Book me In" You know its gonna be a good week when the third cast produces a nice 16 incher The cabin was great very well equipped, Propane lights that worked perfect, 2 Fridges, Indoor shower, 4 sets of single bunks, A gas and motor shed, 5 boats and 5 motors. The water system is gravity fed and there is a pump you just start up once or twice a week No priming just give it a pull. We caught fish all over and you did not need to go far This one was right from the dock Pike were plentiful Some very nice Walleye also We ate well Dinner for four Fish and Chips We had some rain But then we had a rainbow!! Walleye were mostly caught on Jigs with a piece of worm. Best color tails were chartreuse, orange, pink and purple. Mepps #3 and #4 Black flurry also produced well. Shad Raps in bright colors cast or trolled caught there share. The big Pike were caught on Mepps #5 bucktail The Walleye, I believe were post spawn, the males were not milking but had the remains of a dried milk sack. We never caught a fish deeper than 16' I tried Worm Harness and bottom bouncer but to my surprise they did not produce Even the bugs were minimal I bought a fancy new bug coat and never had it on once, You could even walk up the trail to the little house and sit and not get ate up!!! Once again Martin from Outpost Camps Inc was the best!! as promised the Sat phone and Generator were at the air base on our arrival. Another "Great Memory" Thanks Martin Much Appreciated Cheers Rick

  8. Amazing 'Bunk' What a report!!! Family is growing up You did your homework and put in the time and effort and it paid off 'Big Time' Good for you. Some beauty Fish and the pictures along with a great story Fantastic Thanks for taking the time. Nothing like sipping on a single malt after a long, tough but very 'Fun' day on the Lake Cheers Rick
  9. I have a HDS 8 Gen 2 at the helm. and a HB portable at the bow. When I set this up the plan was to upgrade the HB to a HDS 7. However what I have found is I seldom fish on the bow! With the remote control for the Mnnkota Ii am in the back of the boat looking at the HDS 8' So unless you really spend a lot of time in the bow My recommendation would be the HDS 9 at the Helm Have Fun Shoppin Rick
  10. Some 'Beauty' Smallies there! Great report Bill.
  11. Yes it is a 'warm ' breeze Should flatten it out more!! Then, Bring on the cold
  12. Brian Don't think you will need cleats, Its like walking in a foot of mashed potatoes!!

  16. Hey Doug Well done!!! That is a 'Big One' of a Moose for sure. Nice rack too. Some fantastic photos I am sure you are looking forward to a hunt with your Son and Dad. Have fun Cheers Rick
  17. If you are looking for Perch in Cooks Bay, Gilford area Terry Goy is the best! For sure!
  18. I called this a 'Lack' of Ice report just for the "MisFish" You guys are definitely right. We really need the winds to lay down. Even if it's -20'C with 50 Klick winds she will not freeze over. Just make a mess of busted up chuncks The water is at the right temp to freeze and it would only take a couple days to ice Cooks Bay over. Once we have a good layer then the winds will build ice.
